Subject: mm: vmscan: check if mem cgroup is disabled or not before calling memcg slab shrinker
X-Git-Tag: v4.19.65~29

mm: vmscan: check if mem cgroup is disabled or not before calling memcg slab shrinker

commit fa1e512fac717f34e7c12d7a384c46e90a647392 upstream.

Shakeel Butt reported premature oom on kernel with
"cgroup_disable=memory" since mem_cgroup_is_root() returns false even
though memcg is actually NULL.  The drop_caches is also broken.

It is because commit aeed1d325d42 ("mm/vmscan.c: generalize
shrink_slab() calls in shrink_node()") removed the !memcg check before
!mem_cgroup_is_root().  And, surprisingly root memcg is allocated even
though memory cgroup is disabled by kernel boot parameter.

Add mem_cgroup_disabled() check to make reclaimer work as expected.
